Use spells in Hogwarts Legacy
In the console versions for PlayStation and Xbox you use the magic as standard R2/RT button. A simple press triggers a basic attack spell. In addition, there is also a defensive spell, counter spells and powerful ancient magic.
Special spells are in turn triggered by the spell set at the bottom right of the screen. This is a quick select where you hold the R2/RT button and then press the appropriate button for one of four assigned special spells.
In the course of the game you can also get three more spell sets via the talent menu, between which you can switch as you like, so that you can ultimately equip and use a total of 16 spells at the same time. The special spells are divided into different categories with different colors. Many opponents use shield spells of different colors. Then use spells of appropriate colors to pierce enemies’ shields.
You can also use the famous killing curses during the game via the magic set selection. These include the unforgivable curses Avada Kedavra, Crucio, and Imperio. If you want to learn them, be sure to check out the linked guide, as only the curses are missable during gameplay if you make wrong decisions in dialogues.
Below you can see them List of all 34 spells. You will learn all spells except the curses automatically in the main missions or through tasks from your teachers. So, if a particular spell isn’t available to you yet, progress further in the story to learn it or receive related quests from your teachers.
